 * Do you think it's important for humans to study the universe? Why or why not? Explain in detail.

[ Day Two -- 02.15.2013 ]

 * 1) Look through NC State's resources for future students. Be sure to click through the various pages on the left-hand navigation bar. Jot down some brief notes as you do so.
 * 2) Watch at least five videos from NC State's YouTube channel. Choose at least one from each of the playlists for each college (i.e. the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Natural Resources, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the College of Design). List the titles of the videos you watch, and feel free to take brief notes.

 * 1) Look through the NC Museum of Art's online collection. By clicking through the links under the heading "Collection," you can find hyperlinked titles of different works that will in turn take you to images of these works. Browse through each category of the collection and look at several titles in each.

 * How do you think art relates to culture -- what is the relationship between the two? Did any of the art you saw remind you of other parts of our culture? If so, what? If not, why not?
